Fangslinger – A Fusion of Rock, Goth and Western Music that works.

Single – Wanted Undead

Release Date – 13th March 2026

Review by Linda McDermott

Have you got your teeth into FangSlinger yet? This UK band are carving out a sound all their own, where dark Western, gothic Americana, and hard rock collide. Their debut EP We Are the Night throws you into a world of outlaw anti-heroes, blending groove-driven riffs, three-part harmonies, and cinematic storytelling that lingers long after the last note.

isOn stage, FangSlinger shows are immersive, theatrical experiences set against desert graveyard backdrops, with each member inhabiting a distinct character: FangSlinger, BloodRose, and HangMan. Fans are invited into this mythology under the banner All Souls Welcome’, a message that has quickly built a dedicated following. With a growing reputation for blending narrative, atmosphere, and raw rock energy, FangSlinger are positioning themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting new acts.

Following their laidback release of He Rides a Pale Horse, the band steps it up a gear with Wanted Undead, returning to a heavier, more hard-hitting rock track. The song captures FangSlinger at their most immediate and infectious, pairing their signature outlaw rock sound with an upbeat, high-energy swagger. Set inside the chaotic world of the Lost Souls Saloon, the track tells the tale of undead outlaws forced on the run after their soul-hunting activities in the Old West are exposed. As the chase intensifies, the song plays with the question of survival versus surrender: will they keep running or eventually turn to face whatever is pursuing them?

Musically, Wanted Undead fuses punchy, hard-hitting rock riffs with hints of blues and Southern rock, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The track balances heavy guitar hooks with melodic flourishes, while the rhythm section keeps the momentum driving forward. Harmonies and layered vocals add richness and depth, making the story of the Lost Souls Saloon come alive. It’s a track built to hit hard wherever you hear it, whether blasting from speakers in the car or sung at a gig. FangSlinger wear their influences proudly, and fans of Guns N’ Roses, Dorothy, Black Stone Cherry, and Avenged Sevenfold’s self-titled era will enjoy them, but with an added injection of theatrics and outlaw energy, making their sound unmistakably theirs.

From the offset, the track immediately pulls you in with a beat-driven introduction before FangSlinger begins to spin his tale. The harmonies weave the story together, keeping the energy high while highlighting the band’s distinct characters. FangSlinger has found a fresh take on rock music, capturing the spirit of their personas brilliantly. Each member brings something unique, whether it’s FangSlinger’s commanding presence, BloodRose’s melodic depth, or Hangman’s raw edge, resulting in a band that’s as theatrical as it is musically compelling.

The band will be releasing a video to support the single via their YouTube channel on the day of release, so watch out for that.

On Saturday, March 14th, 2026, FangSlinger will go live on their social media platforms with an intimate acoustic performance of ‘Wanted Undead’ as well as a few surprises! The band will be answering questions from their lost souls (fans) who tune in and will also be doing a special merch giveaway!
